♡ pairing: jaden Hossler x fem!reader
♡ summary: you meet Jaden at your birthday party. You’re not a party person so when Tara throws you a surprise birthday party, you're not a happy camper. You’re not very social so half of the people (more like 90%) that showed up you didn’t know. Not even halfway through you needed a break of the noise and the people. You weren’t the only one.
♡ wordcount: 450
♡ warnings: reader smokes, partying, drinking. (drink responsibly, kids and don’t smoke!)
The cold air greeted your face. It was a pleasant feeling that you were in dire need for.. You scared yourself a little when you looked to your left. A few feet away from you sat a guy. A guy you had never seen before like pretty much everyone else at this party.
“You don’t mind, right?” You asked sheepishly.
“Oh, no,” he gestured his hands to the chairs around him. “Go ahead.”
You gave him a tight-lipped smile. Once you sat down, you grabbed a pack of cigarettes from your pocket. Quickly lighting one and taking a drag. All the while, the guy hadn’t stopped looking at you.
“That’s not good for you, you know,” He said without malice.
“Neither is cursing they say,” You smiled at him, “But fuck it.”
He smiled back at you. Behind him, you could still hear the loud bass coming from the soundboxes. You took another drag.
“Y/n,” You replied simply.
“No way,” He sat up straight, one hand leaning on his thigh. “Not Birthday girl, y/n.”
“Well,” You laughed lightly, “I suppose so.”
“Happy birthday,” He leaned back, his eyes still trained on you.
After a small thanks, the two fell into silence. He never looked away. Surprisingly, it didn’t freak you out. Hell, you hadn’t even noticed. Too cooped up in your mind.
“So, birthday girl,” He spoke up out of nowhere. “If this is your birthday party, why are you outside? Not enjoying it?”
You took a deep breath. “No, I’m not a party person actually,”
He looked at you confused.
“Oh,” You laughed lightly, waving it away. “Tara set this up. I might’ve let it slip that I never had a birthday party before.”
“Aah,” Jaden nodded his head.
You sighed leaning back in your chair. It was no lie you were annoyed.
“It’s a big deal here,” He said. “Tara’s parties are always the best.”
“I know,” You said, “That’s why I can’t just leave you know. God, I don't want to know how much she spent on this.”
“Yeah, you can’t,” He smirked slightly.
“Goddamnit,” You cursed with a smile, “I was really hoping you’d tell me that I could just leave.”
“Oh, there you are!” The loud voice of Tara disrupted the peace of the outside. “It’s time for your birthday cake, y/n.”
You smiled at her, you felt completely regenerated to pretend to enjoy the party again.
With big steps, your friend grabbed you by the arm and dragged you away inside.
Before you were fully swept away you looked back and smiled at Jaden. Not knowing when you’d see him again.
